About Me

I am a wildlife, nature and landscape photographer. Born in Tanzania, Africa I now call Toronto, Canada my home.  

 

Growing up, my family would visit the Serengeti & Ngorongoro National Parks regularly and my fascination with wildlife and nature began at a very young age. However it wasn't clear how my passion would manifest itself until 2008 when a close friend introduced me to DSLR photography.  We were preparing for a trip to Tanzania and without doing much research I purchased an entry level DSLR. We spent 5 days touring the northern safari circuit. Our trip turned out great, but I couldn't say the same for my photos. It was certainly not due to the lack of beauty or opportunity. There was a clear gap in what I wanted to achieve and the results I produced.

 

I spent the next few years honing my skills with the goal of being able to reproduce on my screen what I saw in my mind. My initial focus was on landscape and nature photography. We all know there is no substitute for real experience, and that is what I was after. So I took pictures, lots and lots of pictures of lots of different subjects. I was finally starting to see results closer to what I had imagined and started moving into wildlife photography. I also upgraded my camera system from that initial entry level DSLR a few times to figure out what system meshed well with my style.
